GOD these books were torture to read!! I could only get a few chapters in at a stretch before constantly thinking 'you stupid girl!' got to be too much and I NEEDED to put the book down.
First off... who proof read these? It seems no one did as the grammar and double up of words was appalling and it became harder and harder to see these books as created by an author and not as fan fiction.
Secondly... out of the 8 books the last is the only one that actually captures your attention in the beginning, or even middle, the first 7 books only become interesting (used liberally) in the last 4 chapters AND still leave you with SO MANY questions that the only answers are dumb luck and unimaginative writing.
Lastly... what a joke! I mean how can anyone read these and think the main character is stable, she moves between rude, ignorant, bigoted and just plain blind as a mortal to understand, tolerant, smart and resourceful as an angel, its preposterous! And one point thinking to the reader 'this feels like a trap' and then walking into said trap and saying to the bad guys 'you set a trap, I didn't even realize'.
Overall and putting aside the above, the story line was difficult to follow as a plausible time line even given Oracle interference and memory erasing and it was beyond belief that the events could play out the way they did in the supposed time frame time and again and that somehow everyone comes out unscathed.
Will not be even slightly tempted to pick up another book by this author.

Snooooooze
Sorry, but I can't join all the adoring fans on this one! I'm an avid reader, probably average 2500 pages a month. I really tried to like this series...got through the first two repetitive, drawn out books and finally said, No. The afterlife and angels are like kids at a middle school, judging each other, immature antics & outbursts, etc. I kept hoping the characters and story would improve, but it was the same ideas over and over and then again. I had to quit reading this, although doing that goes against my every fiber!

First book/series that I didn't finish. Forced myself to finish book 4 because I started it but struggled to get even that far. The books are slow and, although I started reading them knowing they were for teens, I found them to get boring very quickly. The idea of Guardian Angels caught my attention as something different than the usual supernatural or fantasy but lost my attention after the first book. I would have been happy if it ended after Marked.

This is an 8 book bindup of the complete series. all but the last two doesn't blind together with the first six all could be a stand-alone book they all start off roughly the same way and end the same way.
now each book as a stand-alone is very entertaining and has that satisfying feeling of it over ( other than the seventh book). overall as a series it a bit repetitive as a stand alone they are kind of okay.

Immensely long drawn out start but ends quite well
Although this last book was a page turner the first 5 books were excruciatingly painful to read. The plot of the series became somewhat interesting in book 6 but it was mainly book 7 and 8 that were the saving grace of the series. I for one am glad to be finished!

I quite enjoyed reading this.
There's a lot of the main characters dying over and over again so if you're a sensitive soul to those sorts of things i wouldn't read this.
Plenty of angel and demons fighting each other drama and having to stop what amounts to almost armageddon.

I LOVED this series! Kara and Davids story stole my heart one book after the next. All of the books pull you in and then you don't want to stop reading! I loved how Mr. P always found a way back to Kara! The oracles made me laugh along with David. very well done, Kim!

I fell in love with the characters. I wanted to keep reading to make sure Kara and David made it out. Then she kept getting called back. It was great writing and story telling. Loved it

Easy, quick reads. YA books. Lots of great imagery, and has the occasional twist to keep you turning pages.

Not Horrible
Overall okay series very repetitive, same arc over and over. This created a one note series but still a good read!

If this were a 3, maybe 4, book series; I'd've been OK with it. This story drags on forever. Not worth it.

I have been reading this series for awhile now and at times it seems repetitive with the deaths of main characters and how Kara is made mortal several times and then brought back to Horizon afterwards. I am enjoying this series but almost wish it had been less books with more info and less repetitiveness.
I finally finished this series today. I had to step away from reading it a couple of times just due to how repetitive it was between themes and characters. It was good if your not looking for something to really draw you in and leave you gasping for more when you have to put it down. I won't be reading the books that continue from these just because I can't see them being any better.

Shallow is not YA
I have read fabulous YA books with depth and full character this set is most definitely NOT. There is not development of characters or plot or world it's just this then this then this. Heroine meets someone and less than a page later they are her super BFFS and will risk their lives for her. No reason why just because. Events happen but there is no context for them. Just no. I pushed through to I think it was book 4 after the climax of ultimate war and destruction but could not force myself to go on. I am not curious to know how their lives go on just glad there was a conclusion and I made it.
